The smell of Spring, living upstairs, smile

1. It felt like Spring outside today. We had some warm days in January, but today it felt like Spring was really coming. It was still a bit chilly, but sunny, and the birds were singing, and it somehow just smelled like Spring was coming.
   
   
2. With the kids sleeping upstairs again (now that the really cold weather is over), my living room stays pretty clean without much effort.
   
   
3. My oldest finished a drawing she was working on a for a contest, and we took it to the post office to get the right postage on it. I let her drive on the driveway and across the bridge. To get something big accomplished and mailed, and then to get to drive---I don't think she could have had a bigger smile on her face.
